Association of Professional Landscapers
The Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) is a specialist group of the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA), made up of landscaper and garden designer members of the HTA who meet rigorous standards of quality and professionalism.
The HTA is the leading trade association representing and supporting businesses in the UK garden industry. With a membership comprising retailers, growers, manufacturers, landscapers, and garden designers, the HTA actively advocates for the sector, fostering growth, sustainability, and innovation.
In 2025, the association is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The APL is the only landscaping scheme operator of TrustMark, a government initiative that promotes professional trade to consumers. Members of the APL are regularly inspected and agree to follow a customer charter with clients.
